How could anyone vote for Nixon (in this thread) is beyond me. Let's face it -- all politicians play tricks and have dark sides. It's their policies that count.

On international front, Nixon is arguably the most remarkable statesman the world has ever seen: subsided the Cold War, opened dialogue and started rapprochement with China, brought diplomacy to the Arab-Israel conflict.

Domestically, he started revenue sharing program to balance the federal-state relationship, enacted monumental environmental protection laws, established OSHA, ended peace-time draft, introduced welfare reform policies, successfully desegregated Southern schools. If it were not for many of the economic woes that were beyond his control, he would be widely regarded as one of the greatest U.S. Presidents of all time.

Ever heard of Watergate and obstruction of justice?

There's something in the back of my mind about breaking into a hotel. I'm a little fuzzy right now, but it might have had something to do with it. As a country, we generally don't like crooks.

Tell that to Kenn Starr, and the 105th and 107th congresses. And the people who voted for Bill Clinton on this poll.
